Taking a respite from featuring celebrities and models on its covers, Vogue Italia has commissioned children to create art to front its magazine for the first time in 55 years.
The unexpected, special-edition covers portray “Our New World” which not only affects adults but also children, who are “the most overlooked and least obvious victims of the pandemic,” described editor Emanuele Farneti.
100 children aged two to 10 were invited to “redesign” the magazine cover with in-vogue looks, and eight illustrations were handpicked to create eight different covers.
The selected artworks were created by four-year-old Thomas from New York, five-year-old Nori from Amsterdam, six-year-old Tadzio from Paris, five-year-old Violetta from Milan, two-year-old Camilla from Dakar, five-year-old Rachele from Bologna, six-year-old Pietro from Milan, and 10-year-old Giorgio from Parma.
Vogue Italia magazine extended the intergenerational concept across the June 2020 issue with features including correspondences between eight-year-old Luca and Giorgio Armani, as well as a piece by photographer Steven Klein and his four-year-old son Ace.
